EDIT: I have now followed the steps again (and precisely as I did the previous 4 times), this time everything has worked and the phone IS rooted.

The only thing I have changed is using a different PC so I think the drivers may have been the problem earlier. Even though FlashTool said it was pushing things to the phone it seemingly was not.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jorge78041:
Hi, I hope you can help me, about 2 weeks ago I received my Asus Transformer from newegg and I noticed this error but I thought the 3.2 update would fix it, it did not.

When using a non-live wallpaper and the Asus charging/keyboard port, the wallpaper moves, it will not get fix unless I disconnect the port, it is very annoying as I do not like live wallpapers but have to use them because this does not happen with live wallpaper.

Not a big deal but I am afraid something is wrong with my transformer, that could worsen. Thank you

(attached screen shot)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aymara:
No, it doesn't move ... look at your screenshot ... the right 1/3rd of the wallpaper just got black ... check the position of the tree, which didn't move.

I don't have a solution for this problem, but maybe a workaround ... install QuickPic from the market. It's a better gallery (free) than the stock gallery with better color, full 24bit or even 32bit, if you select it.

This app also installs a plugin for the Transformer wallpaper selection menu. I used it to select a photo I took with my SGS2 as wallpaper. Just copied it to a folder on the TF and selected it as a QuickPic wallpaper.

I hope that does the trick for you too.

I have been seeing a lot of problems with the battery life should i still get the tablet of look for something else
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
it depends, these are disposable, i got one because i havent had a laptop longer than a year so i thought why not, when i get sick of a touch screen keyboard or other issues i will sell

its great but i recomend you wait till the issues with these tablets are resolved, my battery life is very good but the creaking plastic on the left is anoying and the os still has some issues and needs more support, i still perfer my hp mini but the android has better battery life so its handy.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hstende:
I got mine last week, and I like it a lot.

My battery is fine.

I use it as a laptop with an rdp-client to a pc.

Something I didn't like is the glossy screen, but looks like all tablets are glossy.

Also missing adhook network connection so that I can tethering it to my phone. I think that should be default on a honeycomb-device. I guess the next version will have 3g as an option, but I see there are optional roms that solve this.

Mine is a B7 so I have to wait to see if it's rootable before I can change rom.

[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Hello. I used cyanogen mod in the past on my desire hd, then switched to rcmixhd, then back to cyanogen (newer release). I noticed first of all that the battery lasts really shorter time. I don't know why, but in the night it goes from 60 to 15% without using anything (no 3g, no wifi, no applications, no alarm), i just leave the telephone on. It hasn't happened to me before.

I flashed a new radio, I will see what happens, but can the radio make a difference in the battery related problem?

Apart from this, i am happy with cyanogen.

One rom related question: is it possible to change the incoming call layout? I am very used to the possibility of 'SILENTING' the call. Let's say someone calls, I want to have the possibility to make the phone NOT ring while still NOT refusing the call. On this rom I only have 2 buttons: accept and decline. No 'silent ringtone' available while the phone rings, which is different to refusing the call. I just want to keep the incoming call without the ringtone, after the call starts...i think you understand what i mean, it is a common function in every rom I had.

And also: I tried the game 'backstab HD'. It runs really with poor framerate. Is it normal? It has good graphics ok, but I don't think it's normal for a game built for phones to go that slow. Modern combat goes very smooth...even reckless racing HD now goes smoother than before. Backstab is almost unplayable. I think I could do something with chainfire 3d ?
[Desire HD General] MrFezZ:
Volume down should silence the ring/vibrate.
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
tonight battery went from 70% to 2% (from 3.30 a.m. to 10 a.m.). I find it impossible to use the phone like this.

How can I fix this battery problem? Last time I used cyanogen the battery could last up to 3 days with normal use. With the time the ROM should get better, not worse....I am searching for a solution, many people have this problem and no one knows how to fix it.
[Desire HD General] Calysto666:
Hi !

Check out the radio threads, and see the setups from the other guys.

I had heavy battery drain with different radios. The last radio from cyanogen

( running alienmind v1.99 ) works great now.

Just need to test everything and need to find the best setup for you ;)
[Desire HD General] Fraise:
Now, one of better think is to make a full charge of your battery, device turned off.

when you reboot your device(at 100%), go in CWM=>advanced=>clean/wipe battery stat.

Do it two or three time and see...

if no result you can instal Battery History for GB

Look if something drain anormaly your battery.

If no result, change ROM :D

If no result, change your dead battery.

And read this guide
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
i did the reset of the battery stats today, things may be better. I will also flash another radio to try everything. If not, I really don't know, i may have to change rom although i was happy with cyanogen the first time.
[Desire HD General] Calysto666:
Just backup your old rom and flash (wipe) the newest from cyanogen... and see yourself.

If the battery drain is still there ( i hope not )

I had only problems with cyanogen when i customized it ( other radios, kernels and widgets )
[Desire HD General] equlizer:
so which radio is the best for the latest cm7? I have the Telus version if that makes a difference. thx ;)
[Desire HD General] GoTron:
Yeah I was getting pretty severe battery drains too, but then I updated my radio and RIL and now it's significantly better. Here is a guide to update your radio:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295&highlight=radio

After that I updated my RIL using CWM. Just go to Download ROM -> gtg465x -> RIL Flasher.

[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
So how long do you think it will be till we get some AOSP Roms?

Example I bought this phone because I had to have Wifi Calling since the area I lived in, and bought the phone for the specs.

But I know not everyone loves Sense and was wondering when we will see the full AOSP Roms that are just pure Android.

Also how long do you think it will be till we see some real kernels with features.

Full EXT4

BFS Scheduler

Overclock upto 2Ghz (if possible, since phones can do 1.78 fine)

Kernel update to 2.6.38

updated drivers

I know we got the kernel source from HTC.

Good day folks!

Is there any app available for importing contacts saved in a CSV file?

I recently exported my contacts to Outlook using HTC sync prior to S-OFFing.

I had also used a crappy backup tool which completely failed to restore anything

(in case you wanto know the fauly app was Backup Master, stay away)

Well, now i have the contacts in a CSV file on my SD card and i want to import the contacts to my phone book.

Tried the import through Gmail option (which i am not very keen on doing.. for obvious reasons), but even having that as a last option does not hyelp as the 'import' button does not appear in my gmail account on the mobile.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
You could log into you gmail account on a pc, then import the contacts csv, then sync your phone contacts with your gmail account

Doing it through GMail would really be the best option :)
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
well, i did not wanto use google...

not sure if i want to voluntarily give up all my contacts...

though am quite certain they have it anyways ;)

for anyone who may have this issue, this is what i did...

the contacts were saved in outlook...

i exported all the contacts in .vcf format to a directory on the SD card.

the stock contacts app provides an option to import contacts from memory card...

that's about it...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmnash:
I've successfully recovered my tablet using this method. I was trying to update my TF using the batch script method and somehow managed to flash an outdated kernel. I know this because Asus tech support told me that was the reason my TF wasn't receiving the ota to 3.2. However, Asus tech support also told me that I could flash a new kernel by downloading the source code onto my tablet, then the TF would automatically recognize the [.rar] file and install my new kernel; which didn't work out as you might imagine.

I am now on official 3.1 8.4.4.11.and my kernel is v 2.6.36.3-00011-g3eb19ex And I can't get the OTA update. At one time I had official 3.2 [after previously flashing stock 3.1] but decided to try to root when I found out Netflix wasn't officially supported like the EEE pad site says it does.

Every time I try the batch script method, I end up stuck on the eee pad logo screen. Adb is working as well as apx drivers. Ultimate goal here is stock 3.2 rooted with netflix, but at this point I'd settle for stock official 3.2.

Any ideas? Tia

I'm trying to avoid flashing CWM, that's where I end up bricking it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwilliamf:
I would suggest you to try Nvflash. it is the easiest way to root that tf.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I think the relationship between nvflash and the TF is complicated.

There are a few bootloaders out there, including the one used by custom roms, as well as the 4 stock ones.

My theory is that the kernel images in the boot and recovery images have to match the bootloader that is on the TF.

Throw in the fact that the bootloader is only written using the nvflash --create command or during the OTA update, and we have TFs with all kinds of different bootloaders going around that won't match what people are flashing. I think this is why CWM breaks whenever there is a stock OTA that rewrites the bootloader. I think most people brick trying to go back to stock from a custom rom. Going from stock to custom usually isn't a problem because the compatible bootloader is flashed in the rooting process.

Is this the first time we've seen an completely unlocked bootloader on Android?

Use the NVFlash unroot method here:

http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?1071-Asus-Transformer-NVFlash-Stock-3.1-Recovery-Roms

That will get it back to stock everything with 8.4.4.5. Then, you can manually install 8.4.4.11 with the download on the Asus website. After that it will recognize the OTA update to 8.6.5.6. Once you've done all that, use the Batch Script for a quick root, and you're done. I did this today. As long as you follow all the steps, it's a breeze.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:

Hi! I'm new to Android and to XDA forums :)

I've recently backuped (video tutorial) and flashed my DEFY to Gingerbread 2.3.3 (4.5.1-112), but those root methods are a bit too complicated for me. (backup image method) :(

I was thinking about downgrading to 2.3.3 (4.5.1-85) to simply install GingerBreak application.

Can I downgrade to 4.5.1-85 by just downloading ...-85.sbf and flashing my phone using RSD Lite 3.9?

Or if someone could explain me step-by-step how to root 4.5.1-112 :(

I can make you some nice forum sig/avatar if you want for exchange ;)
